How do I equip shield?

I broke my shield in Faron Woods, bought a new one, but can't equip it! I've looked in the manual and it says to hold b button to select item, but the b button cancels it and brings me back to main screen. I've tried shaking my nunchuk (as the sparring instructor told me) but nothing happens. Please help!

Oh thank you sooooo much for that. I think the manual should be more specific in telling us that though :(

You press and hold together at the same time both the - button and the b button. then when it brings up the menu items you press again - and point to the new shield and then release the button.
